Handpull cask at the New Zealand Arms, Derby. Very light gold, some carbonation and a small white head. Light aroma of lemon peel and fresh grapefruit. It tastes fruity and bittersweet, very pleasant but the finish is noticeably short. It’s actually a lovely little light beer, even if there’s not a lot to it.

Handpull cask at the Crossing, Burton-on-Trent. Darkest brown/black with a sizable light brown head. Sweet latte and liquorice aroma. Taste is equally sweet, with chewy caramel and chocolate notes, but it feels a bit artificial. Silky palate and a long finish, with salted caramel on the aftertaste. Good all in all but too sweet for the likes of me.

Man I hated asking for this. Handpull cask at the Exeter Arms, Derby. Dark brown with a hint of mahogany. An extremely thin layer of sandalwood head, and lots of lacing. Gentle aroma of mocha and vanilla. Sweet, sweet taste, all the way down. No hoppy bitter twist although the intensity of malt makes the finish a luscious affair. Slight unwelcome herby hint in the aftertaste takes it down a notch but overall a good experience. Simple as you get, but what a clever little mild.

Cask at the Rail Ale Festival Chesterfield, 2016. Poured a clear straw colour with a thin white head. The aroma is massive ginger. The flavour is moderate ginger with a spicy ginger palate. Medium ginger with ginger carbonation! If you don’t like ginger, don’t drink this!

Bottle at home in London - picked up in London somewhere. Pours deep brown with a creamy, beige head. The nose holds creamy milk chocolate, burnt toast, coffee grounds. Medium sweet flavour with more milk chocolate, chalky cocoa, some earthy bitterness, day-old coffee. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish with more milk chocolate, light roast, mocha. Not bad overall.
